Dental implants

To prevent any potential complications, we recommend consulting with your primary care doctor before getting dental implants.

To help speed wound healing after your procedure, we recommend using an extra soft toothbrush, interdental brushes or floss, and thorough cleaning of adjacent teeth to prevent food from entering the wound. In the first two weeks after the procedure we recommend using only professional oral care products, formulated for postoperative dental care.

We recommend getting dental check ins at least twice a year for professional removal of plaque and tartar.

Dental implants are made out of titanium because of its exceptional stability and strength, which makes it extremely resistant to damage. Titanium is also completely biocompatible, meaning it doesn’t have any adverse effects on the organism and doesn’t harm the body in any way.

There are thousands of dental implant producers in today’s market, and they all share one thing in common: they use the same hypoallergenic material–titanium.

Both Straumann and MIS have extremely high success rates, but a much more important factor in the success rate is the protocol of the procedure itself, and the proper maintenance of oral hygiene afterwards.

Both brands are made using the latest generation of titanium, guaranteeing total biocompatibility.

Because of the harmful effects of smoking, particularly on circulation and tissue regeneration, we recommend you quit smoking if you plan on getting implants.

That doesn’t mean implants aren’t a good choice for smokers. Nonetheless, smokers have a higher risk of potential complications (poor osseointegration, peri-implantitis, et cetera).

Dental implants can last a lifetime, and come with a lifetime warranty. That said, the actual lifespan of implants is individual, seeing as the patient is responsible for maintaining their oral hygiene – and some bad habits or unchecked chronic illness can significantly affect the life of implants.

After dental implant installation we recommend coming in for dental checkups twice a year. Proper oral hygiene, a healthy lifestyle, and regular checkups guarantee your dental implants will last a lifetime.

Diabetes poses a heightened risk factor with dental implants. But while diabetic patients are more susceptible to infections, if their condition is properly managed with medication and checkups, and if the patient practices good oral hygiene, there shouldn’t be any complications.

If the teeth adjacent to the implant location can be used as supports, during postoperative recovery time we’ll give you a temporary crown that comes in the form of a mobile or fixed cap.

Our goal is always to enable our patient maximum functionality for the entirety of the healing process.
